Nerine Viljoen's family asks you to please stop donating.

They have enough money. As per a note on the Facebook wall from the man in Seoul handling donations to the South Korean account.

Just a note to say PLEASE STOP DONATING! The family has been really blessed and they do not need any more donations. I see some people are holding special fund raising nights but the family has assured me that all their costs have been covered and that they are deciding what to do with the extra money they will have left after they have paid all their costs. I do not know what that amount will be yet and neither does the family.

If you still have any donations to make please pay it into the families bank account in South Africa and NOT into my account in Korea.Iif you have raised money and you feel you want to use it for a good cause like a fund for foreigners or for needy people or whatever please feel free to do that. If you really feel the money is for the family then pay it into their account

THANKS AGAIN to everyone who had an open heart. You were and are still amazing. ALL OF YOU!!

There's talk of setting up a fund to pool money together and provide quicker help to foreigners who need it in emergency situations like this. I'll keep you posted.
